Instead of watching some big American sport game tonight, I'm at home eating a quesadilla while working on my ColdFlash Soulmate AU - Countdown
A sudden, terrifying thought
When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that’s usually a predator animal.
If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though—to the side—that animal is prey.
Now look at this dragon.
See those eyes?
They’re to the SIDE.
This raises an interesting—and terrifying—question.
What in the name of Lovecraft led evolution to consider DRAGONS…
As PREY?
ColdFlash Soulmate AU - Countdown
I just wanted to post a quick update about this since I did get some interest in it. I do plan on writing this fic, though personal life stuff has been preventing me from getting to it. I do want to note that I plan on posting it mainly to AO3, with notification posts here on when a chapter goes out. I want to fine tune the plot line I had originally put together when I got this idea months ago, so as things begin to slow down here, I'll get more time for that and actual writing. It shouldn't be too long here, I just have to sort out some paperwork when I get home this afternoon and mail those tomorrow and, so long as nothing goes wrong, I'll be in the clear!
ultimately i think kindness is the most radical thing you can do with your pain and your anger. it’s like, you take everything awful that’s ever been done to you, and you throw it back in the world’s teeth, and you say no, fuck you, i’m not going to take this. you say this is unacceptable. you say that shit stops with me.
humans are fucking terrible and this awful world we live in will fucking kill you but if you are kind, if you are brave and clever and try really hard, you can defy it. you can impose on this bleak and monstrous structure something beautiful. even if it’s temporary. even if it doesn’t heal anything inside you that’s been hurt.
i’m gonna sleep and i’m gonna wake up and i swear by everything in this deadly horrible universe i’m gonna make someone happy.
i’ve seen a number of comments and tags where people feel that they must swallow or repress their anger in order to engage in kindness. that is not at all what i am recommending here. radical kindness is an expression of anger. it is not passive. it is not repressive. it does not require you, in any way, to forgive those that have fucked you up. it does not require you to be quiet.
it just requires that you be kind. viciously. vengefully. you fight back. you plant flowers. give to charity. play games. pet someone’s dog. scream into the dark. paint and write and dance, tell jokes, sing songs, bake cookies. you have been hurt and you don’t have to deny that hurt. you just have to recognize it in other people, and take their hand, and say: no more. enough. fuck this. no more.
have a cookie.
i will say this again: we are all going to die. the universe is enormous and almost entirely empty. to be kind to each other is the most incredible act of defiance against the dark that i can imagine.

1. The universe is indifferent. We ought not be.
2. A good quote: There are two kinds of people. Those who think, “I don’t want anyone to suffer like I did.” And those who think, “I suffered; why shouldn’t they?”
3. Two good quotes by Kurt Vonnegut: “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies-“God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
And: “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”
#hopepunk
“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal… To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.”
-Rebecca Solnit; Hope in the Dark

I swear if the book I'm working on ever gets published, this is going to be the author's note. I am going to screenshot this and put it there because this is the message I want to send with this story of mine, and I've never been able to put it into words so damn perfectly. Thank you.

A ColdFlash Interest Check
Long time no see fam! I know I have been quiet on here for....well months, especially when it comes to posting a new peace, but have no fear! For I have returned with an idea I’ve been sitting on for some time now that I want to see if there is going to be any actual interest from, well, you lot. So before you jump into what this is, please be noted that it is ColdFlash, but other pairings will be brought into fruition as well if this becomes a thing. When I started getting interesting plot point ideas, I really started to get on the bandwagon but I have one issue. Soulmate AUs. While I love reading them, I know how common they are and how some people may be sick of seeing them, which is why I currently only plan on posting this prologue piece to see if the concept catches your attention. I am also hoping you guys have some questions about how this particular version of the soulmate au will work, especially when it comes to different matches (or bonded pair, as is more common). So I am encouraging you guys to ask me questions, please. If you are at all interested, after reading this piece and looking at any additional info I’ll be adding in the comments in response to you guys, drop a like will be my number one way of knowing if I want to continue this.
And so, if I have at all intrigued you with this idea of mine, go on ahead and read below. I will be out of town (and thankfully not working) for the weekend so I will have plenty of time to look at comments and respond when I’m not busy with family stuff. And don’t forget to ask questions and let me know if you’d like to see more of this story in the future.
Reblog with the game that got you into gaming.
I have walked nearly 40 miles over the past three days because of a festival I help out at a couple weekends a year. And now I'm torn between sleeping the next 12 hours or watching the season 7 finale of GoT.
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is.
This is so worth reblogging!
Thank you!
I’m in no hurry to make me the best I can be :)

I am so excited for the new Caitlin Snow, Badass.
this literally gave me chills.
I’ve never hit the reblog button so fast in my life.
I can't wait for Littlefinger to be the one stabbed in the back. He's sketchy as all get out. I'm so behind.
So for anyone that was interested, I won't be posting any of my polyam week fics this month. The past two weeks were far busier than I expected them to be, mainly because my cousin and his wife got in an accident and I've been watching their two kids, ages 5 and 8, with his sister while he's been in the hospital. They're both mostly fine, his wife got some cuts and a concussion from hitting her head pretty hard against the window. They got t-boned on his side (passengar) on their way home from date night, so he's a bit worst off. Glass shards were removed from his shoulder and lower neck, and he broke his arm in three places from the impact. He's being released tomorrow, but no work for a while. Since I'll be at home again and not having to mind two young children, I'm going to focus on the upcoming disney week. Before I sign off on this though, I wanted to say one last thing. Please, never drink and drive. It was the Thursday before the fourth of July and some asshat thought he'd be fine driving the two miles home from the bar. He ran a red light and was speeding. Doctors and police all said that if the guy had hit my cousin and his wife a few feet more towards the front of the car, chances would have been high that my cousin wouldn't have lived long enough for the first responders to get there. A FIVE and an EIGHT year old would have been without their FATHER. In no way is this right. So please, set up a sober cab if you go out and drink.
